This one took a lot of patience and even more faith in the process! #rune mannaz for balance. It feels like we need to focus more on balance! Three complete layers of single thread #embroidery on denim.

Starting new project! Mannaz - #rune for balance. Going to do three layers of negative #threadpainting to see if I can :) we need more balance! Wish me luck :)

So, I'm not going to produce a watercolor to put in this anytime soon, so I painted some fabric and then embroidered on it instead. So, here's a happy little pond with flowers and bull rushes and a sky that meets the water.

Today's version of the dratted watercolour landscape from low flying castle #howlsmovingcastle. It is improving albeit slowly.

One could say the same thing about most university degrees 🤔

So.... I dyed a table top today 😁 much fun was had. Used alcohol ink and fabric dye diluted with alcohol and a brush. Wheee!

Oh my - I thought this was an embroidery piece. Altho, come to think of it - double sided watercolor could be interesting 🤔

Thank you :) I'm thinking of doing a double sided piece soon. Just have to get the courage up

I have a recent obsession with wet and needle felting. Here's one of my first pieces. I've had an obsession with #mushrooms since I was in grade school. #needlefelt

K. So I did my practice. It's meh. But it's the first one, so they will improve. I inform the universe thusly! It took 1/2 a cup of coffee long, so quick, used shiny paints cos why not? Was thinking mostly of the brush strokes. Another tomorrow 🤨

Being well behaved 😂 doing watercolor in my sketchbook. Both of these things drive me to distraction!!! 😠 Wish me luck!

Done 😊 here is my suggestion of the daruma in #Spiritedaway train station. I used washes of iron oxide paint and a deep purple to push the shadows in. 7 washes at least. Daruma welcomes you to enter the tunnel and adventure!

Starting a new piece 😃 it's a collage from papers I made using a gelli pad. I'm aiming to remind us of the entrance to the train station in #spiritedaway with the daruma statue. Hard to cut up the papers🥺 now it's hard to draw on them... Ooooh commitment 🫣 #wip #art #collage #ghibli #gelli

Aww. Thank you! The original art is just gorgeous

Fairy Mouse might be done? Should I change anything?
